===Influences=== ''You've Got Mail'' is based on the 1937 Hungarian play ''[[Parfumerie]]'' by [[Miklós László]] and its adaptations.<ref>{{cite news |last=Ng |first=David |title='Parfumerie,' a 1936 Hungarian play, is an overlooked inspiration |newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=November 27, 2013 |url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/culture/la-et-cm-parfumerie-play-20131127-story.html |access-date=October 13, 2015 |url-access=subscription |archive-date=November 24, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151124153437/http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/culture/la-et-cm-parfumerie-play-20131127-story.html |url-status=live}}</ref> ''Parfumerie'' was later remade as ''[[The Shop Around the Corner]]'', a 1940 film by [[Ernst Lubitsch]], which in 1949 was adapted as a musical film, ''[[In the Good Old Summertime]]'' by [[Robert Z. Leonard]] starring [[Judy Garland]] and [[Van Johnson]] and, finally, in 1963 as a [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] musical with ''[[She Loves Me]]'' by [[Jerry Bock]] and [[Sheldon Harnick]] (composer and lyricist, respectively, of ''[[Fiddler on the Roof]]''). ''You've Got Mail'' updates that concept with the use of email, and the lead character's workplace is named "The Shop Around the Corner" as a nod to the 1940 film.<ref name="LATimes">{{cite news |last= King |first= Susan |title= With 'You've Got Mail,' You Get Lots of Other Goodies Too |newspaper= [[Los Angeles Times]] |date= May 6, 1999 |url= https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-may-06-ca-34378-story.html |access-date= October 13, 2015 |url-access=subscription |archive-date= November 24, 2015 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20151124103137/http://articles.latimes.com/1999/may/06/entertainment/ca-34378 |url-status=live}}</ref> Influences from [[Jane Austen]]'s ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]'' can also be seen in the relationship between Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly—a reference pointed out by these characters actually discussing Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet in the film. The joke when Tom Hanks explains that the little girl is really his aunt is taken from [[Israel Zangwill]]'s story "A New Matrimonial Relation" in ''The Bachelors' Club'' (1891).<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://muse.jhu.edu/article/366570/summary|title=''The Master'': Reclaiming Zangwill's Only Künstlerroman|first=Lilian|last=Falk|date=March 14, 2018|journal=English Literature in Transition, 1880–1920|volume=44|issue=3|pages=275–296|via=[[Project Muse]]|access-date=March 14, 2018|archive-date=July 21, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180721221731/https://muse.jhu.edu/article/366570/summary|url-status=live}}</ref>
